Hanging Pallet Wood Shelves

You might remember that I am working on decorating little man’s room in a nautical theme. I have a few projects finished already, but it’s a long way from being completed. The biggest room update so far has been the chevron wall, and now I have built some hanging shelves to accent the space.

My original inspiration for the project was this DIY Swing Shelf from Project Nursery.

Holy moly this is fantastic! Your version is better than the original you pictured!!! I have two questions 1) Do you use a sander or sand paper? and 2) For the stain in a spray can, would you recommend it for larger projects like desks? Or no?

*THANK YOU*! I have a sander that I use…I have tried to hand-sand projects in the past and it’s TOTALLY worth buying a sander! I actually am preparing to use the spray-on stain for a bit of a larger project later this week, but I would think it would be PERFECT for a desk. It goes on so evenly, and doesn’t leave a lot of extra to cause drips.

Love those shelves! I like them better than the inspiration too!
I also wanted to thank you for sharing your herringbone wall! I found it & used it as inspiration for a large canvas I just painted for over my desk. I posted about it today if you’d like to check it out.
Can’t wait to see what fun project you tackle next!

We usually get them at the construction sites in our neighborhood, but my Father-in-Law has gotten some for us that he’s seen on the side of the road. I’ve also seen them behind strip malls sitting by the trash bins.
